Wii User Reviews

What? A 9.0 For one of the most annoying experiences of my entire life? That was my reaction when I saw the rating for this game. When I first started playing it, my expectations were on the roof. I played The 2D Metroid games a while back and thought they were the pinnecle of the Metroidvania Genre, especially Super Metroid. Combined with the Amazing reception of these games, I genuinely Thought this was going to be one of the best games of all time. And then I played it... After getting to 30% on the first game I didn't want to play anymore. Lets start with the good part, This game looks phenomenal, even on the wii. Some scenarios are breathtaking with an amazing atmosfere to them. The soundtrack is, from what I heard, Great. And the exploration is also good. But, tell me, how can I experience those pros with the most Frustrating controls I've ever had to endure. Im sorry, like genuinely, I tried playing this game but, at least for me, these controls are absolutely ABYSMAL and this game really loves to show me that. The wii motion controls felt so good on the beggining but troughout the game It showed its flaws.They fell forced on a gamecube game, after this dreadfull experience, I dont think I'll be trying this again, even on the gamecube.

Three of my favorite games of all time, in a single package, with the first two greatly enhanced with Wii pointer controls, making shooting, puzzle-solving, and looking around in general that much better. Prime 3 is definitely my favorite, but all 3 are timeless classics which I still occasionally play to this day.

Just here to finally say that almost every year, I play at least 1 of these 3 prime games. Boot up my Wii U, and the feelings of Anxiety, Isolation, Tone, and Atmosphere immerse me. I like MP1 remastered on switch, but would rather replay Wii version. Love the Wii pointer controls.

Prime is an obvious masterpiece, I don't think anything more needs to be said about it. I recently played through Prime 2 and 3 for the first time though as part of this trilogy. Prime 2 IMO is the weakest game of the trilogy, there was just too much backtracking to and from portals and the navigation overall could get very confusing because the wireframe maps really weren't up to the task of handling as much verticality as Prime 2 has. Also, they WAY overdid it with the morph ball segments and bosses, holy s**t. As for Prime 3, I like that they tried sth different with the more cinematic approach, the ship, the different planets. However, not having an interconnected world like in classic Metroid games does kinda ****, as does having to go back to a landing site to be able to go anywhere else, even different sections of the same planet. Also, the motion control bits haven't aged all that well, and some things are drawn out for way too long for no good reason whatsoever, like when you have to use the boost ball 20 times to rotate a platform or sth. Speaking of drawn out: Retro has a boss fight problem. More specifically, the boss fights are almost always too long and too dependent on the player waiting around for the boss to start or stop doing a specific thing in order to be able to attack them. It makes the fights very tedious and also the constant beam shooting in some of them is ridiculous, almost making my finger cramp. I hope Prime 4 improves on some of these points and maybe we'll finally get to see Retro's original Open World vision that they had for Prime 3 before the Wii's puny specs destroyed that dream.

best $20 I ever spent, prime 1 is 9/10, prime 2 is 10/10, prime 3 is 8/10, I love these games

3 of the best games of all time combined into one package is one of the greatest values in gaming ever.

Three excellent games bundled together and improved with the new motion control scheme makes this compilation an incredible deal.

this series is great with level design and atmosphere. the gameplay in 1st person is so much fun with exploration and combat and puzzle solving.

Best value in gaming along with The Orange Box. Genuinely three of the greatest games ever made in one package.

One of the best video game collections. The games have aged almost perfectly, and are still some of the best games in their genre. Furthermore, for Wii/Gamecube-era games, their graphics surprisingly hold up.

This is quite honestly one of the best gameplay experiences I've ever had, the motion controls work very well with the first two games as well as the third, these games are truly masterpieces with very fun boss battles

These are some of the best games ever made, wrapped in one complete package. Every detail of the original game has been retained, down to the menus. For $20 on the Wii U eshop, you have no reason to not pick this up! Unless that is, if you're reading this past January 2022 when the eshop closes

the finest trilogy and gaming compilation ever made and for the price they're selling this is most definitely a steal one of these games is nearing perfect and the other two are still masterpieces if you haven't bought this what are you doing?

Probably the best shooters I have ever seen these games are amazing, while the controls aren't the best, I think they are better than the gcn controls.

Metroid Prime Trilogy is a collection of my three favorite Metroid games. It contains extra content such as multiplayer, artwork and music. These games are super underrated and deserve better so here's to an amazing Metroid Prime 4 (eventually) and beyond.

amazing how they resold the same games without even bothering to upgrade the graphics. Thank you fanboys for paying nintendo salaries, spoiler next pokemon will be same too, pick 3 pokemons, fight gyms fight elite 4 ending :D

Absolutely amazing I got this game earlier this week and i’ve only played the first one so far (I think i’m close to the end I just got the grapple beam) but I can already tell i’m gonna love the other 2 definitely pick it up it’s only $20 on the wii U which is an amazing deal

Far from criticizing the quality of this collection, whose three games are a must for any videogame fan. I have to give it a bad grade because of Nintendo's obligation to use the wii control type. These games with the option to play in a classic control scheme would be outstanding, no more. But its control through wii nickname, is uncomfortable, imprecise and forces the player to abandon the game out of sheer exhaustion. You can't keep your arm pointed at the screen for a continuous session of about 2 hours. If in the future this compilation is remastered and published in switch, I'm sure I'll buy it, for the time being its version of wii remains on my shelf for collection, because I don't think I'll ever play it again.

A phenomenal deal if you still have your Wii and if you come across this for a decent price. Three Metrioid Prime games with a new play control that works surprisingly well. If you need a shooter for your Wii, this is it.

The usual mindless invisible-walls-and-guess-what-we're-thinking design that you can expect from Nintendo. There's zero user agency. If you divert from the predefined track then say goodbye to your time while you try to find your way back on it, because you cannot accomplish anything until you read the mind of the designer and like a good robot do everything in the predefined order. That's how it is intended to be played, like an invisible instruction manual. Most of the game is about opening doors; weapons and abilities are nothing but glorified keys to unlock doors and reach a previously unreachable area, much like in shooters from the nineties. At least Doom and Quake were honest about it, unlike Metroid. Did you scan an enemy to get some useful info in preparation of a battle? Sorry, we exchanged that enemy with another identical looking one two seconds after you completed your scan. Don't complain about how that's unintuitive -- why didn't you simply read our minds? Oh, you died and lost a lot of progress as a result? Well, we don't really respect your time. If it's that important to you then you should have gone completely off-track and hiked half across the map to save your game. That's what we call "flow". And don't complain about combat. Don't you understand that all your weapons are useless unless you shoot the enemy in fifteen orifices in a specific order? You seem to be used to games where it's possible to accomplish something your own way. We don't have room for that kind of player. Either stop thinking and do exactly as we intended, or waste your effort and die. Developers are just lazy when they spit on players' time and effort by throwing it away as soon as their extremely convoluted, specific and predetermined way of killing enemies goes undiscovered. I hope another developer can raise the bar for this franchise. And for Zelda, and... right, they do this **** in every game.

That is probably the best recopilation in gaming history. Three of the best games in history in one game. In only one word: AWESOME.

These are three masterpieces, plain and simple. This has quickly become one of my favorite Wii games ever. The atmosphere is perfect and it's just soaking in gameplay. There's such a natural progression and it's obviously the best way to jump into the Metroid series if you have a Wii

Great compilation of great games, with it low price on wii u eshop you really should give it a try. Amazing visuals, atmosphere and gameplay still hold up to this day.

The best trilogy in videogames in one only disc. AWESOME. The Prime Trilogy is the best videogame collection ever,all the grandess of the originals in one game

I'll start by saying that I hate first-person shooters. There are lots of reasons for this. Metroid Prime Trilogy is not just the only first-person shooter I'd recommend to anyone to play, it's a game I'd highly recommend in general. Retro Studios did a fantastic job transferring the experience of the original Metroid games into an immersive 3D environment. The beginning introduces you to the basics of your controls -- press to shoot, do to scan, etc. -- in a natural way as you go through the intro area. It doesn't feel like gameplay is interrupted for instructions. And then it drops you into a fascinating, completely alien world with many of the abilities you had at the beginning disabled, and the only hints you have about where to go next are where you can reach, plus the occasional map marking from scan data. As you progress and defeat ever more difficult bosses, you gain more abilities that make you able to reach places you couldn't reach before. Just like it was in Super Metroid. No inter-character story pushing you forward, just a big and beautiful alien world that you can't wait to explore further.

14 years later and Metroid Prime is as good as it was when I was a kid. Porting it to the Wii solved the only gripe I ever had about it - controls. It stills looks beautiful. When you're playing, you aren't thinking "this looks good for 2002", you're thinking "this looks good in general". It's amazing that they were able to pull off these graphics so long ago. Man. It plays so well. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this game. It makes you wonder why Nintendo took the #10 video game of all time and did nothing with the franchise. I hope they still will.

Esto es fácilmente la mayor recopilación de juegos de todos los tiempos. Olvida el bombo de Halo, o Killzone, este es el juego real. Estoy enfermo y cansado de destinos juegos 'ser decidida por los colaboradores incompetentes. Este hecho, este no tiene una puntuación perfecta es penalmente repugnante. Me pregunto lo que un halo Trilogía conseguiría? Esta es la mayor serie de First Person Shooters jamás se ha hecho, la norma se ha establecido y cualquier jugador inteligente aún está esperando a que se rompa 8 años más ****. Retro, le saludamos!

This trilogy consists of three amazing games. Metroid is a franchise like no other. The original Metroid started something completely different in the gaming world and the Metroid Prime games bring it successfully to the third dimension. Words cannot describe how amazing it is to play these three games. The controls are immersive and surprisingly easy to get used to. The gameplay is fabulous, and the graphics are beautiful for their time. If you have a Wii or Wii U, buy this trilogy, it is worth every penny and much more.

First, let me say that I had huge expectations for this game, given its metascore and the fact even now it's still pretty expensive on the market and I took it into account at the moment of choosing the grade. Let's start with the positives, the controls are near perfection, which is a true achievement when thinking that two of those games weren't made for the Wii, of course only the third entry have little extras taking advantage of the Wii motion controls, but the main gameplay is great for all 3 games. Secondly this trilogy truly has its own identity, the way the game has to mix puzzles, platforming and shooting, epic bosses is very natural and once again a true achievement from Retro Studios, they also capture the unique vibe of exploring an unknown world, however, there is not much change over the three games (a few gadgets change but with globally the same use) a good thing that they didn't make others episodes after Corruption. Now let's talk about why I'm not as enthusiast about those games as many others. First the lack of a true story really annoys me, in the first game there's 0 story, the second just a little more and finally the third is the only one with a true story (even if it is a classic one), in my opinion a game cannot be great without a great story, it lacks purpose, and this was even more important given the fact that there is so much backtracking into those games, I was really bored when I had to go through the same room for the tenth time. In conclusion there's no doubt those games are good, but in my opinion they're not classic (except Corruption maybe) and so I wouldn't advice them to everyone, especially if you're looking for a good story.

Metroid Prime is on my list of the three best games of all time, and Metroid Prime 2 is just about as good as the first and even improves on it in some ways. Metroid Prime 3 goes in some bad directions and not only includes much more character interaction but makes the dialogue infantile and stupid. I can see how 3 might be seen as paving the way for Other M. But it's still worth a play for Metroid fans.

Honestly, this game is the reason i didn't sell my Wii. My dad got me it for good grade and i was like "what is a metroid?" He told me that it was one of gaming biggest series. So, i played it. These 3 games made me love metroid. I played metroid prime for hours on end. Every time i got an upgrade or won a boss fight, i wanted jump up and scream like i had just won the superbowl. And i didn't have any wristpain from the controls. The motion control was great because it made you feel like you were samus giving Ridley some plasma charged death. Granted the graphics may not be the best, but the games need them. I felt that this game was more visually pleasing than things that had top of the line graphics. And sure for those of you who MP on the gamecube, it is the same game as it was. However, i played all 3 of these games 3 times over, from to finish. In closing, Metroid Prime Trilogy is top of the line, best Wii game ever.

Garbage. Same games with no graphics upgrade, but you get to pay for them again! But wait, that's not all, now we have MANDATORY MOTION CONTROLS. No controller support of any kind. Steer clear.

This package is one of the best deals in gaming history. Three of the absolute finest games ever created, and now the first two with the highly superior Wii controls. If you haven't experienced Prime 1 & 2 before, this is the definitive version to get. It's probably pretty hard to get a copy of the trilogy for a reasonable price now, as it was only available for a limited time, but if you see it, get it! It's definitely worth every penny it costs you, these games are really that amazing. I also have to mention the visuals, they are superb in these games. Retro Studios have used an incredibly clever art style, along with the best possible use of the Wii's technical capabilities. The graphics, at least for Prime 3: corruption, have not aged one bit. So basically, if you really like action/adventure games and have not yet experienced these three masterpieces, this package is worth almost anything you'll have to pay for it.

Absolutely the best game i think i have ever played. I enjoyed this game SO MUCH. The experience i had changed my view of video games vastly. The reason I liked this game so much was the following (main reasons): The soundtrack. Oh my god the soundtrack. The music and sound effects to this game were outstanding. The voice acting was also spectacular. Giving me an eerie feeling and making a strong impact on the story. The first game included: Metroid Prime. 10/10. best one of the 3 included. It was the best metroid experience I've ever had, and I've loved this game for about 3-4 years now, and of all the ones I've played this one was the best. The second game included: Metroid Prime 2, Echoes. Very fun. Included only a few suit upgrades, which i won't spoil here (because i don't want spoilers in my review) but the game was amazing. It started with some really great exploring, and delved deep into a (quite terrifying) story. The third (and easiest): Metroid prime 3: Corruption. Despite being very easy to complete, it was still really fun to experience. I loved the final boss fight. (also all the leviathan fights leading up to it!!) The game was great, especially with the new feature, which was being able to interact with your environments in ways like pressing numbers on a keypad to using your arm cannon to weld broken circuitry. Completed it 100%.

I never played the original Prime games because I just got into Metroid when I played Super back in 2009 or so. But I got the Trilogy for the following Christmas and absolutely loved it. If Super Metroid didn't make me a fan of the series, this game sure did. Amazing graphics, beautiful music, and excellent gameplay that handles flawlessly for Wii, I'd sorely recommend this game if you can find it; it's really rare these days.

It's the entire Metroid Prime trilogy and it's awesome. It's nice to have all 3 of the Metroid Prime's on one disc to save you trouble from switching out the discs every time you want to play something different. Only downside, playing all these in a row gets boring and that's usually what most people (that I know at least) do when they get an HD collection of something. Ik a lot of people don't, but I'm just nitpicking here. If you haven't played the Metroid Prime series or own it. Get the off the computer. Go to your local game store. Grab this game. Pay for it. And play the out of it!

this is the absolute best package in gaming, i mean a slick metal case with awesome artwork and shinny booklets with amazing art and story, the games in this collection are the 3 best first person shooters out there, altough you can say they are first person adventures because the exploration is the order of the day and not the shooting. What retro studios has managed to produce is astonishing, graphics, music, design and gameplay-wise. there are no better adventure games than this and a universe so fully realized. Metroid prime trilogy is the best compilation ever. period.

This is one of the best collections you can own if you have a nintendo wii and are a metroid fan specially; this games are legendary for their sensation wonder, mystery, exploration and discovery, it is remaked by critics and gamers to be some of the finest games ever made and makes one proud to play it. it's not action oriented like halo or war themed like killzone, but is a trilogy that conquers it's gamer with atmosphere and design

Im going to keep it short and simple. If they were to make us able to aim "free" without locking onto targets and somehow shorten the time used just to get from A to B it would be a 10/10. The lock on target thing is just not up to date. It makes the game to damn simple. Theres never really a challenge unless youre fighting bosses. It makes it boring as well, because it feels like youre just hammering the B-button without actually doing something to take the enemy down.

Metroid Prime Trilogy is easily the best $50 you will ever spend on anything related to video games ever. It contains three of the greatest titles of all time, along with a beautiful metal casing and some extras inside the case as well as all three Metroid Prime games on one disk. I think it's easily worth the purchase even if you have played all three Metroid Prime games before, because not only do you get the first two titles with Wii controls which, slight quibbles about lack of buttons aside, are far superior to the Gamecube version, but you also get many of the features that were designed for Metroid Prime 3 outside of Wii controls for the first two titles as well. The medal system from Corruption returns, allowing you to unlock a screenshot tool that works for all three games, the Fusion Suit for Prime(which was included in the GC version), as well as various concept art and soundtracks. Unfortunately, the medal system does feel a little lazy on as you only acquire medals for scanning things, defeating bosses, and accomplishing various other mandatory tasks in the game, such as acquiring Chozo Artifacts or Dark Temple Keys. I was somewhat hoping that medals could be earned for doing optional things, such as defeating an enemy in a specific way similar to the Icy Reptilicide or Stylish Kill medals in MP3, but these are rather small quibbles. Overall, if you've played all the Metroid Prime titles before, I would highly recommend this over nearly anything you can get, which are even more enjoyable with the new Wii controls, but if you didn't enjoy the games for a reason besides the control scheme, then Trilogy won't make you enjoy it any more than you did. If, however, you haven't played the Metroid Prime games, or enjoyed one or two but missed out on one or more of the titles down the road, then I can't recommend this highly enough. Not only will you get whichever games you've played before on a single disk(if you have played any), but you will also get the chance to play through some of the greatest titles in gaming history in their best form, with Wii controls. It's easily worth the $50. Overall, I can't give this compilation anything but my highest recommendation. Every single one of these games is a masterpiece, and the only complaints I have about the games are all small quibbles where I didn't enjoy something that I'm sure some other portion of the gaming community did. If you liked the Metroid Prime games, then get this. If you haven't played the Metroid Prime games, then there is no better time to try them out then now. If you had difficulty enjoying Prime 1 or 2 because of the Gamecube controls, then consider this a new opportunity to enjoy some great games with an excellent control scheme. The only person I wouldn't recommend these to is anyone who has played the Prime games in the past and didn't enjoy them for a reason besides control scheme. Everyone else, this is an excellent buy, and likely the greatest gaming trilogy of all time on one disk.

Easily the greatest compilation of games since Valve's "The Orange Box", Metroid Prime Trilogy brings one of the greatest trilogies of gaming ever created. Metroid Prime 3's Wii controls are implemented in the 2 previous titles, allowing for the absolute best first person experience on the Wii. Although the graphical textures and models from the first two were left virtually untouched, these games look amazing, the best you can find on the Wii today. Metroid Prime Trilogy offers an excellent opportunity for those who missed out on the titles the first time around. 9/10

The first thing i did was change some options to make the controls better. Change A to jump and B to fire and also set to pro mode as this allows you to lock on to a target and shoot something else and still shoot at the lock on target if you wish. This is also hardly a childish game and i'd never deprive anyone of experiencing such a great series.Fantastic sci-fi story.

Quite simply, this is the best of the best when it comes to modern game design. The design of the Metroid Prime series is impeccable, requiring the player fully invest both quick reflexes and brain power to solve puzzles as well as the scan and remember key areas all though out the game environment. It's impossible to describe with words, because no next-gen game is quite like the Metroid Prime series. The phenomenal mechanics work 100% of the time, and the trilogy is polished to perfection, presented flawlessly, and effortlessly executed. The set is an incredible value, even though most copies are quite pricey now. Regardless of price, this is "required reading" for all gamers.

You are getting three award-winning games in one! This is worth every penny. The best aspect of the Metroid Prime series for me is the feeling of isolation. You are playing the lone wolf for the entire time and you really feel you like a badass when you finish that boss fight with only your wits to thank. My only downside is the constant backtracking but other than that it is an awesome game!

The easiest review in the world! The original Metroid Prime is well worth a 10 as a stand-alone title, as it is one of the best adventure games ever made. So... score sorted then. If, however, you have played the first game to death and are more interested in the sequels, here are a few things you should mull over. Metroid Prime 2 is a mostly fantastic title. The light / dark world idea is really well done, and it develops that isolated atmosphere that defines the Metroid series even further. Unfortunately, MP2 is severely hamstrung by it's truly ball-breaking difficulty. If you're properly up for a challenge, though, it's all gold! Metroid Prime 3 has other, more pressing issues. The game suffers from a serious case of deja-vu. Almost everything in this game has been seen before, and it all just feels a bit under-inspired and workman like. So there you go; One all-time classic, one hard-as-nails slice of intensity and one solid-but-ultimately-dull clone. If, however, you have never played the original Metroid Prime, well... BUY THIS IMMEDIATELY!

I loved all three of these games when they came out, now they're all in one and the first two have Wii controls? What's not to love? The Wii controls made the first two play smoother and multiplayer mode was actually fun and competitive because of the new controls. I would have given all of the games separately high scores but all together with improved controls, this can be nothing short of a 10.

Anyone who likes first person shooter games with an adventure sense to it will most probably love all of these 3 games, the Metroid Prime collection is truly some of the best its genre has to offer. It has an overwhelming storyline and a very complete background story that even if it might not have much to do with the traditional Metroid trama, it brings an innovating, interesting and greatly developed plot that is evidence of a very well thought game. The characteristic dark atmosphere along with the breathtaking and massive landscapes introduce the gamer into a fantastic and new universe that will change your perspective of videogames and even movies, presenting very wild natural environments and simultaneously highly sophisticated technological spaceships. In addition, we can see an amazing variety of creatures and monsters to interact with during these games, all of them different and creative with a very cool design and appearance. A huge variety of weapons and ability upgrades also contribute to an entertaining experience, alongside with the admirable new Wii platform controls that provide a much more fun and intuitive way of shooting and exploring. These games all bring a marvelous original soundtrack that will give the gamer a whole new sensation when playing. This pack is simply perfect, very unique and well made, another instant classic.

Three already great games combined into a single disc trilogy.. Whats not to like about this? I just wish that Nintendo would show their other franchises the same love. Also i wish that they would make games that you download via the Wii Shop channel that you put on the SD card playable on the 3DS or DSiXL/Dsi.. That'd be awesome.

Metroid Prime Trilogy. Great game yes you get all 3 metroid prime games here 1 released on the wii and 2 that were released on the gamecube. this game is currently out of print which is means expect to pay mondo dollas for this title. So is the game worth it? Yes I had only had played the first one on the gamecube before this so both 2 and three are new to me. I do recognize though that this is a second release of these games so you may or may not have them in you collection already. The controls are good for the wii but I do feel it loses a point for not having the option of the classic controller come on nintendo the first two had it already so you should have left it as a option because not everyone is used to we controllers. The graphics a good for the wii and even though 2 of these are ports from the gamecube they look great even next 2 xbox360 and ps3 games. The story is a ten out of ten and the length on all these games is great. If you ask me spend 60 dollars on mw3 or 100 dollars on a copy on metroid trilogy I would say get metroid trilogy a better story and just a all around awesome package. So as for why is it a 8 instead one point for not leaving putting in classic controller support and another point for being a port of 2 titles you can pick up and play on the cube and metroid 3 was released during the dawn of the wii. If you own all three titles already skip this one if you don't spend your cash and buy this one now it is worth every penny.

Even tough some games are missing effects, and others are censored a small bit, those are minimal flaws that don't manage to harm one of gaming's best complitations of all time. 3 great games in a neat package, complete with upgraded graphics on older titles, new control schemes to make those same games better and widesceen support. Also featuring losts of extras; it will last you a very, very long time. Definitely recommended, grab it while it lasts.
